FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) – A new Women’s Memorial honoring all women who’ve served their country will be unveiled on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 2 p.m. at the Veterans National Memorial Shrine and Museum.
The Women’s Memorial has been in the works for quite some time, according to spokesperson Eric Johnson, who said, “We received a $75,000 grant from the Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC), and we raised another $75,000 in matching funds to reach our goal.
“Delays in shipping the red granite from India pushed back the scheduled dedication set for September. The memorial is a combination of red and grey granite and Indiana limestone. It’s a very special blend of these stones that will highlight many women who have made significant contributions to Military History since the Revolutionary War.”…
